DeeThree Announces Completion of Corporate Reorganization


CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - May 15, 2015) - DEETHREE EXPLORATION LTD. ("DeeThree") (TSX:DTX)(OTCQX:DTHRF) and BOULDER ENERGY LTD. ("Boulder") are pleased to announce the completion of the reorganization of DeeThree into two, oil-focused and independent, publicly traded energy companies pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the "Reorganization"). The name of DeeThree was changed to "Granite Oil Corp." ("Granite") concurrently with the completion of the Reorganization.

Under the Reorganization, DeeThree's assets were divided between Granite and Boulder. Granite retained the Bakken properties located in the Lethbridge area of southern Alberta, and Boulder acquired DeeThree's Brazeau Belly River properties located in west central Alberta and those properties located in the Peace River Arch area of northern Alberta.

Each of Granite and Boulder are wholly-owned by DeeThree's shareholders on a pro rata basis with reference to the number of DeeThree common shares held prior to the Reorganization, with DeeThree shareholders receiving one third (0.3333) of one Granite common share and one half (0.5) of one Boulder common share for every DeeThree common share held prior to the Reorganization. There are now 30,341,693 Granite common shares and 45,517,092 Boulder common shares issued and outstanding.

The management teams and Boards of Directors of Granite and Boulder are as announced by DeeThree on April 7, 2015.

The TSX has conditionally approved the listing of the Boulder common shares. It is expected the Boulder common shares will commence trading on the TSX on or about May 21, 2015 under the ticker symbol "BXO".
